New Delhi railway station

New Delhi railway station (station code: NDLS)
is the main railway station in Delhi. Platform 1 is NEW DELHI

located at Paharganj and platform 16 opens up on to

the side of Ajmeri Gate. The station is about two NAYI DILLI
kilometres (1.2  mi) north of Connaught Place in Indian Railway and Delhi Suburban
Central Delhi. It is one of the busiest railway
Railway station
stations in the country in terms of train frequency
and passenger movement.

Until the 1950s, the Old Delhi railway station was

the main station in Delhi. The official inauguration
of the one platform New Delhi railway station took
place in 1956. The station building at Paharganj was
the first in India to have common station facilities
for all classes of passengers including a common
entry and exit. With the station meeting its
saturation limit as early as the 1970s, there have
been continuous efforts over the decades to
decongest the station including the rail traffic. By
the 1980s the station had seven platforms, in 1995 it
had ten platforms and during the 2010
redevelopment the platforms increased to sixteen.
The new station building on the side of the Ajmeri
Gate was upgraded during this redevelopment. The two entrances, Ajmeri Gate (top) and
Delhi Metro connectivity has been integrated.

History 1956 Official inauguration

Before the new imperial capital New Delhi was Location

established after 1911, the Old Delhi railway station
served the entire city and the Agra–Delhi railway
line cut through what is today called Lutyens' Delhi.
The line ran through plans for a new capital,
including space set aside for the All India War
Memorial and Kingsway.[1]

The railway line was shifted along Yamuna river and

opened in 1924. Minto rail bridge came up at this

time. The East Indian Railway Company sanctioned
the construction of a single story building and a Interactive map
single platform between Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj
in 1926; this would go on to become the New Delhi railway station.[1] The government's plans to
have the new station built inside the Central Park of Connaught Place was rejected.[2] The Viceroy
entered the city through the new railway station during the inauguration of New Delhi in 1931.
New structures were added to the railway station later and the original building served as the
parcel office for many years.[1][3]

By 1955 a new station building had been constructed at a cost of about ₹20 lakh (equivalent to
₹18  crore or US$2.3  million in 2020).[4] A common entrance, exit and circulating area for all
classes of passengers was created.[4] It was the first station in India to have common facilities.[5]
Up until then an adapted form of the colonial era system had remained in place, the platform and
area that had been reserved for the Britishers was used by upper class Indians while the other
platforms and areas went to the lower classes.[5] A common area for refreshments was built,
waiting areas as per ticket class, and resting rooms with different fees open to all classes.[4] The
building layout and design was done under the Architect of the Ministry of Railways.[6] The one
platform station was officially inaugurated on 16 April 1956.[7][8] Up until then Old Delhi railway
station was the main station.[9]

The building exterior at this time was made of exposed concrete.[10] In preparation for the 1982
Asian Games, the exterior of the main entrance on Paharganj side was covered with sandstone.
This was then painted in the 1990s.[10] Before the 2010 Commonwealth Games the original
exterior was covered with aluminum.[10] Pillars and benches were also given a metal look.[11]
Subsequently the exterior aluminum panels were given a colour combination.[10]

In September 2009, the new building of the station on the Ajmeri Gate side was opened. The
building has a total floor area of 9,000  m2 spread over three floors.[12][13] The entrance and
departure on this side were moved to different floors.[14] A new route relay interlocking system
was put into place;[15] since 1999 this system remains the largest in the world according to

Guinness World Records.[16][17][18] The number of platforms

was increased from 12 to 16 during this period.[19] In the
1980s, the station had seven platforms.[20] In 1995 the tenth
platform was constructed.[21] The Paharganj side faced more
space constraints as compared to the Ajmeri Gate side.[22]

In 2007, architecture firm Farrells (along with others such as

Arup and SMEC) were commissioned as consultants with
regard to the redevelopment, modernisation and expansion of
the station in time for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Ajmeri Gate side
Delhi. The consultants would also be involved in the
masterplan of the Indian Railways for the station
redevelopment.[23][24] Other consultants included AREP, Gerkan, Marg and Partners, HOK group
and Rail India Technical and Economic Service (Rites).[23] In 2008, a set of diagrams emerged;
one set consisted of a glass and steel domed exterior encasing the entire platform area of the
station, extensive changes would be made to ensure optimal utilization of footfall and vehicle
space, and commercialization was integrated.[25][26] The station occupies 86 hectares
(0.86  km2)[27] and 10–20% of it (50 acres) could be used for retail and commercial use.[26] 13
consortiums from around the world showed interest.[26][28] In March 2020, long-term plans for a
public private partnership (PPP) to change the railway station to improve passenger flow was
described, with the Rail Land Development Authority put in charge.[29] The plans and timing are
not firm, only the goal, to make a world-class railway station.

There are around 8 temples and 5 mosques located in the vicinity of the station.[30] There is a
temple (Lankeshwar Mahadev temple) on platform 6-7 and a mosque (Masjid Ghareeb Shah) on
platform 2-3.[31] There was an unsuccessful attempt to demolish the temple in 1982.[32] Ajmeri
Gate and Ghaziuddin's Mosque are also located in the vicinity of the station.[33] These structures
come into question during redevelopment plans.[31] The AMASR Act regulates construction in the
vicinity of centrally protected monuments.[33]

Rail traffic
The station is the main junction for the Rajdhani Express and a
number of pairs of Shatabdi Express originate and terminate at
this station.[34] In 1969 the first Rajdhani Express left from the
station to Howrah.[35] The first Vande Bharat Express was
flagged off from the station in 2019.[36] Luxury tourist trains
have itinerary's which start and end at New Delhi railway
station, Palace on Wheels, Royal Rajasthan on Wheels and
Maharajas' Express. The Buddhist circuit train
Mahaparinirvan Express also starts and end at the station.[37]
Standard 5 ft 6 in gauge railway,
The number of trains per platform per day varies from 13
platform 14-15
trains to 23 trains.[38] On average the station handles 237
trains every day,[34] while the maximum handled in a day
reaches 275.[39] It handles around 350 unique trains in total.[39]

The station handled the introduction of passenger trains to cater to the increasing population
growth and industrialization such as on the New Delhi-Ahmedabad route.[40] Double heading
trains ran from the station including the KK Express on the New Delhi-Bangalore-Trivandrum
route.[40] In 1967 on the New Delhi-Mumbai route a container service was started and on the New
Delhi-Gwalior route folding containers were used.[41] In the 1970s the New Delhi-Eranakulam
covered 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) while the Delhi-Jaipur express reached a maximum speed of

1/12/23, 6:57 PM New Delhi railway station - Wikipedia

100 kilometres per hour (62 mph).[42] In the 1980s the station

handled around 100 trains daily, including coaching, mail and
express trains.[20]

New Delhi railway station has seen numerous initiatives over

the decades to decongest it.[43][44] In the 1970-80s goods
trains previously arriving at the station were diverted to other
stations. New platforms including island platforms and WDS-6AD shunter locomotive
platform faces were undertaken. Washing and stabling points,
and shunting necks were increased.[43][45] The Thomson Road
side of the station also began to be developed with a station
building, ticket facilities and other ancillary structures.[46][47]
Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station began to be considered
with regard to easing the load of New Delhi railway station.[46]
In the 2000s decongestion efforts includes construction of new
passenger terminals such as those at Anand Vihar Terminal
railway station, diversion of trains to other stations such as
Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station and additional stoppage of
trains at other stations such as Delhi Shahdara Junction
Lucknow Tejas Express at NDLS
railway station.[43] With the five main railway terminals in
New Delhi, including New Delhi railway station, reaching a
saturation limit other stations such as Bijwasan railway station
are being developed.[48]

Lines

Rail lines include the New Delhi-Mumbai main line, Howrah-Gaya-Delhi line, both part of the
Diamond Quadrilateral, and the New Delhi-Chennai main line; the lines have been improved in
various ways over the years and there are plans to further improve it.[49] The maximum sectional
speed permissible on these lines in 2016 was 100–130  km/h (62–81  mph).[50][51] The Delhi-
Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor, part of a larger modernisation push, is planned.[52]

Daily footfall and passengers

The station handled around 168,000 passengers daily in 2011.[56] Rohit Anand's study between
2016 and 2018 estimated a daily footfall of 482,000.[39] In 2022, Rahul Bhatnagar's study placed
the daily average passenger (inflow and outflow) as 213,000; the study calculated an equivalent
passenger unit (EPU) of 4,15,157.[34] During festivals, daily footfall can reach 6 lakh.[57] Other
estimates place daily footfall at around 5 lakh.[58] In 2011 the daily revenue was ₹75 lakh
(US$94,000).[59]

According to a 2009 study, in the capital region, the daily passengers originating at major stations
is about 7.2 lakhs.[55] With respect to suburban rail services the daily unreserved passengers per
day for New Delhi railway station is around 38,000; this is out of a total of 4.3 lakh per day

unreserved passengers.[55]

Facilities and ancillary

New Delhi's first round-the-clock service food court with national and international brands was
opened up at the station in 2021.[60][61] Facilities include a souvenir shop,[62] book and magazine
stalls,[63] two executive lounges,[64][65] waiting rooms,[66] at least one escalator per platform,[67]
water vending machines,[68][69] snack areas,[21] and energy saving lighting systems.[70] In 2014
Wi-Fi connectivity was launched at the station on a free basis for a limited period of time after
which users would be required to pay for the service.[71] The station is home to base
kitchens.[72][73] As of 2021, the cargo facility is being redeveloped.[74] In 2003 the station was
serviced by around 1450 licensed porters, with each porter earning more than ₹6,500 (US$81) per
month.[75]

According to the old categorization of Indian Railway stations by commercial importance, New
Delhi was ranked A1;[76][77] as per the new categorization system adopted in 2017 it is an NSG-1
station.[78] Other ancillaries in the station complex include the Rail Yatri Niwas on the Ajmeri Gate
side. In 1996 it provided single and double rooms at Rs 150/250, air-conditioned rooms for Rs
210/500, all with common bath, while dormitories provided cheaper facilities. A Delhi train ticket
was required to access the hotel.[79] The Rail Yatri Niwas has been run by Ginger Hotel in
coordination with IRCTC since 2009.[80][81] Security personnel, including the Railway Protection
Force, Government Railway Police and Delhi Police, are present at the station.[82][83][84] The
station has over 150 CCTV cameras monitored by the railway police and assisted by the Signal and
Telecommunication department of the Indian Railways.[82] The station has two police stations and
three posts.[83]

In cleanliness, the station ranked 165th out of 720 stations in India in an independent audit in
2019;[85] out of 21 NSG-1 stations it ranked 11th.[78] In 2016, out of 75 stations of the A1 category,
New Delhi railway station ranked 55 in cleanliness.[86] As part of a public-private partnership non-
governmental organizations Chintan and Safai Sena support the material recovery facility at the
station since 2012.[87][88] Originally a garbage dump, an area has been redeveloped to facilitate
waste segregation.[87] Waste from passenger trains at the station is collected; this waste can reach
3-4 tonnes every day with a couple thousand plastic water bottles being collected.[89] This
experiment of the Indian railways to coordinate station cleanliness with the two NGOs resulted in
friction with the traditional waste picker community.[89][90] Mechanised cleaning is undertaken
through different contractors.[90] In 2017 energy saving systems were implemented into the
lighting and fan fixtures.[91] In 2016-2017, 2 MW rooftop solar panels were installed at the station
by Vivaan Solar under public–private partnership and executed on design, build, finance, operate
and transfer (DBFOT) basis; the company will also be responsible for maintaining the plant for a
period of 25 years.[92][93]

A beautification effort in 2018-19 resulted in a number of walls and staircases being covered with
artwork and murals.[66][94] The art includes numerous themes, graffiti, and styles from across
India such as Warli tribal painting.[95] The main façade on Ajmeri Gate side was covered with
artwork of monuments and heritage in India.[96] Green spaces have been developed.[96]

Connectivity
New Delhi railway station is served by New Delhi station on
the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro, and also by the Airport
Express (Orange Line), which connects it directly to Indira
Gandhi International Airport and further to the Blue Line.[97]
A 242 metres (794  ft) skywalk connects the foot over bridges
on Ajmeri Gate side of the station to the metro and the parking
complex on Bhavbhuti Marg.[98] The total distance of the foot
over bridge from Paharganj side to the Bhavbhuti Marg
parking area is 442 metres (1,450 ft).[99]
Autos, taxis, parking, metro, eating
Vehicle traffic congestion is an issue at the station that has joints visible, at Ajmeri Gate exit
been addressed in various ways over the years.[100][101][102] In
the 1970-80s consideration began for creating additional entry
from Thompson Road and the widening of Chelmsford
road.[43][103] The 2016 report of the high powered committee
on decongesting traffic in Delhi recommended the areas
around the station as in need of decongestion.[104] As of 2022 a
new traffic circulation plan has been proposed.[105]

State Entry Road, a colonial-era legacy situated on Paharganj

side, bypasses the congested Chelmsford Road however access
is limited.[106][107] The foot over bridge connecting the
